Upon the release of the eye 58, the spring control will cause the member 22, 32 01'37, to resume its normal position. Thus, either two or four bottles may be released by a mere movement of the finger saving all the time ordinarily required to pick up the bottles from the basket and set them down again. Approximately one-fourth of the time of delivery is saved in the use of this device.

, Having described our invention, that which we claim to be new and desire to procure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a bottle carrier means for the simultaneous delivery of a plurality of bottles therefrom, said means embracing movable bottom members, said members being rotatable.

2. In a'bottle carrier means for the simul taneous delivery of a plurality of bottles therefrom, said means embracing movable bottom members, said members being rotatable, in a horizontal plane.
